11/7/23, 1:16 PM International SOS Launches Enhanced Safe Accommodation Services | MENAFN.COM
In light of this, International SOS has significantly bolstered its capabilities for advising
businesses on keeping employees safe when staying abroad through its enhanced Hotel

Security Advisor feature. International SOS’ long-standing expertise and robust assessment
methodology in managing hotel incidents, including in Mumbai, Bamako, Ouagadougou and

Jakarta. This is in addition to an operational capability in a variety of risk environments around
the world, best positions International SOS to provide accommodation-related support for
clients.

Laurent Fourier, CEO, Health & Security Subscription Services at International SOS,

comments “As part of an organisation’s Duty of Care responsibilities, thorough vetting and
selection processes should be adhered to in order to maximise the safety of travellers and
assignees. To do this, business leaders need access to information on the most suitable

options in their desired locations, including potentially remote or high-risk areas. We are
supporting our clients to mitigate any security and health risks to their people by providing a

structured suite of secure accommodation services, including detailed and up-to-date
intelligence on potential security or health risks.”
